Driveability problems vibrations start at 40 mph and entire front end shakes violently, actually bouncing front end off of road making it nearly impossible to retain control. Problem is being referred to among owners as "death wobble". all components checked, replaced and/or repaired without any improvement. Major problem for Jeep owners should be a safety recall. Could cause loss of control at any speed above 40 mhp.
